The instant writ petition has been filed seeking a direction in the nature of mandamus commanding respondent no. 3, the District Magistrate, Basti, to decide the representations of the petitioner dated 10.12.2024 and 16.01.2025. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner, Smt. Vidyavati Pandey, a household lady and resident of Village Kharwa Chirai, Post Parasrampur, District Basti, became the recorded owner of Gata No. 84, measuring 0.13625 hectares, situated in Village Berta, Pargana Amodha, Tehsil Harriya, District Basti, through a sale deed executed by Bhagwan Das on 21.10.2022. The petitioner's name was duly mutated in the revenue records on 15.02.2023. It is submitted that the said land was acquired by the respondents for the 84 Koshi Parikrama project initiated by the Government of India. While other co-sharers, namely Ram Pal, Sukhpal, and Gulam, have already received compensation for the acquired land, the petitioner has not been paid any compensation till date. Despite submitting a detailed representation before the District Magistrate, Basti, on 10.12.2024, and a subsequent reminder on 16.01.2025, the petitioner's claim remains undecided. 4. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, we are not inclined to keep the matter pending. With the consent of the parties, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of finally with a direction that in case the petitioner moves a fresh representation before the Special Land Acquisition Officer, Basti within two weeks from today, ventilating her grievances before the competent authority, we hope and trust the same shall be considered and decided strictly in accordance with law within a further period of two months from the date of production of a certified copy of this order, provided there is no legal impediment.
